Can I repair a small tear in my wallpaper?Updated 4 months ago

Yes, you can smooth out the torn piece and glue it back into place. Use a small brush to apply paste, affix the piece firmly to the wall using a smoother and wipe away any extra paste with a damp sponge.


If the torn piece is missing, or can’t be reused, you’ll need additional wallpaper to make the repair. First trim away any loose wallpaper from the damaged area on the wall. Next, cut out a new piece of wallpaper that’s larger than the damaged area, making sure to match the pattern, hold the new piece to the wall and cut through both the new piece and the paper on the wall. Scrape away the old wallpaper from inside the shape you’ve cut out. Use a small brush to apply paste to the new piece, affix firmly to the wall using a smoother and wipe away any extra paste with a damp sponge.
